Ahmad Amiri Auto fill fields that base on a picklist.
Hi
I have three fields that base on a picklist ‘postcode’ in my custom object ‘Address’.
I want write a code to auto fill fields (Country, State,... ) base on the “Post code”. So if a user change value on pick list it should directly populate value to others text fields.
I know that there are different ways to do it but there are not proper for this example.
• Write apex and use trigger, it is work but after saving the record.
• Workflow formula has limited length and in this case we have 290 “Post code” so formula becomes an out of size
• The last one is use VisualForce page with apex class. This one is work if I want create the page from scratch or override the page.
My question is how can I create a customize “Address” to modify the page? Like add “event="onchange"” to pick list or send value to extension controller.
Or if there is another way to solve this problem.
Thanks in Advance.

All you need to do is to write a ApexTrigger on Before/After insert and Update whichever suites you better and then assign the value for Country and State field according to Postal code.

Thanks for your answer.
You solution is work but after I click the save button I want populate value in text fields directly when I change the value in picklist.
I know that but I couldn't find a way to add code to existing page or override the picklist. I know how to write visual force page from scratch.
